    1. you need a gpu or gpu resources to run a GPT level model

    2. stop thinking of it as “make me a story” and start thinking of it as “let’s make a story together”

    First talk back and forth over the basic idea.
    Then get a short outline.
    Then work on each chapter of the outline.
    Then repeat and refine.

    Try to keep overall queries under a certain character limit. Google what some good ranges are.

    Make sure to save each conversation, and use the outline and previous chapter as the start of your conversation for making the next chapter.

    The AI won’t write it for you, but it can be an amazing accelerator if you’re willing to put in the work.









  • I do think it’s the jealousy, the fear of being replaced, but also the pride of thinking of ourselves as somehow special and important.

    We’re not.

    We’re dumb fucking monkeys who learned to sometimes not be so dumb, and then a bunch of us forgot we were pretending.

    The real lesson in ai is not that they’re getting super complex or sophisticated, but more us realizing the limitations of our own cognition, and hopefully finding ways to extend it.

    You’re spot on about calculators. It’s really just that our schools and schoolteachers are unable to evolve, just like with the insistence that cursive is still a needed skill. Hopefully it won’t take a generation or more to update the educators mindset to taking advantage of the tools available, instead of shunning them.






  • why should giant corporations be allowed to replicate and use it to make money without your consent

    Because it wasn’t yours to begin with

    Biometrics belong more to humanity than any individual person

    Your argument would make it so even facial recognition would be illegal, because they scan and use your facial info without consent

    Same with drivers license databases

    You can’t say “this particular use of this existing practice bothers me, everyone else needs to change now so I feel better”

    Rules on these things need to be consistent, and if they shouldn’t be allowed to use unique information that you consider yours without your consent you’ve just eliminated advertising, security checkpoints, drivers license pictures, filming cops, and a million other things both good and bad that all rely on using your likeness without your consent.
